If you follow my trades and comments, you know I am more of a trader than investor. Given the recent per se deceit flowing from the mouths of government officials and CEOs, I have been spending increasingly more time honing my trading skills because investors (and the public at large) are apparently nothing but suckers.

First, let me preface my review by noting that I am extremely skeptical of marketing experts who sell trading systems and technical analysis products. However, I believe the Internet will allow a handful of successful investors and traders to build a loyal following if and only if said followers can make money. Brian is going to be one of those success stories.

When I first received Brian's book, my wife joked, "How's your textbook?" However, I think she was spot-on with her accidental compliment. Like a short textbook, Technical Analysis Using Multiple Timeframes is laid out in a very logical fashion and offers loads of practical knowledge. I would classify the book as intermediate level material, although it's an excellent resource for technical analysis newbies.

For purposes of this review, the book has four sections. In the first section, Brian introduces technical analysis, explains the four stages of a market cycle (accumulation, markup, distribution, and decline), and details the major variables in his methodology (price, support and resistance, trends, volume, moving averages, and time). In the second section, he shares his secrets about how and when to buy long and sell short.

In the third section, Brian addresses news and fundamentals concerning companies and their stocks, then he has a very nice intermediate/advanced analysis of short squeezes (and how to profit from them). In the fourth section, he offers invaluable wisdom on risk management and exit strategies, his personal rules and insights, and an excellent conclusion entitled "Putting It All Together."

It's hard for me to go into too much detail because I don't want to explain Brian's system and defeat the purpose of reading the book. So, here are some core characteristics to consider:

Brian is a pure trend trader. If there's no trend, he ain't trading.

Brian possesses professional insights into market structure and the psychology of supply and demand.

Brian is religious about risk management.

If you are serious about becoming a better trader or learning how to improve your buy and sell decisions, Brian's book will pay for itself the next time you make a transaction. Unlike countless "classics" that spend 200 pages preying on our get-rich-quick tendencies, Brian skips the infomercial and delivers a practical framework we can use to make money or preserve capital.
